What is CVE-2023-20783?

The KeyInstall component in MediaTek products contains a vulnerability that allows for an out of bounds write due to insufficient bounds checking. This flaw could potentially enable local privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to execute actions with system-level permissions. Crucially, this vulnerability does not require user interaction for exploitation, increasing its risk profile. Affected systems should be updated promptly with the latest patches to mitigate this security risk.
